Center for Household Financial Stability
The Center for Household Financial Stability was created in 2013 to research and strengthen the financial health of struggling families in the U.S. In 2021, staff from the Center were combined with staff from the community-based policy and analysis unit to form the Institute for Economic Equity.
The Center focused on what a family saves, owns, and owes—also called a family’s wealth.
